Occupy The Hood and numerous labor-community-student supporters are continuing their campaign to kill bills in the Wisconsin State Assembly and Senate that target convicted felons. The bills, known as AB 286 and SB 207, would essentially make convicted felons indentured servants of big-business. Due to the institutional racism of U.S. society and in particular the prison-industrial complex, people of color would be the hardest hit by these bills. With this legislation employers could legally threaten and fire workers convicted of a felony for any reason (and especially if they voiced opposition to negative working conditions or tried to organize a union).  Employers could fire outright and this legislation has no recourse for felons to sue for discrimination. Thus as with anti-immigrant legislation, these bills are a dire threat to all workers; employers would be given yet another club to drive down all workers’ wages. This Jim Crow, slave labor legislation must be opposed and stopped. Over the next week a series of actions aimed at killing both bills are taking place throughout Wisconsin:

Saturday, Oct. 29

12 Noon, Lincoln Park, Milwaukee

Speakers from the L.U.V. Brigade, Occupy The Hood and others will explain the slave labor legislation and distribute leaflets of upcoming actions. There will also be many joining the planned march who will be hoisting signs opposing the legislation.

Free and open to the public. Family members of those convicted of a felony (ies) are especially invited to attend to testify how this legislation would negatively impact entire neighborhoods and communities.

Today Bryan G. Pfeifer, an organizer with WI BOPM, his attorney and allies attended a pre-trial hearing at the Milwaukee Municipal Court regarding a municipal citation issued for Pfeifer August 26. Pfeifer was cited for resisting/obstructing an officer while protesting Scott Walker August 26, 2011 at Messmer school in the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee. Pfeifer is fighting the citation because they are bogus and are an attempt to put a chill against the progressive political movement. Pfeifer is also a journalist and was documenting the police harassment of protesters on August 26.
